Bielema on Austin and Wallace

[hoglady]

If Wallace is the best option against Alabama - then why wasn't he good enough to be starting all year?
Now you start him against one of the best Dline's in college football?
Really, coach?

Musical chairs on a college offensive line usually doesn't work out very well.
It's obvious now, Clary should have never, ever started. If Wallace had been starting all year then maybe the Oline could have been working as a somewhat cohesive unit by now.

Why do they insist on these projects every year on the Oline??

+1000.

Supposedly Austin Allen didn't throw a pass all week in practice.

I wouldn't expect that he would or could. From his reactions leaving the field Saturday, unable to do anything with his right arm, I'd think he's had some kind of shoulder separation, though they're not going to say whether it is or not. I bet Clint Stoener could tell you what that felt like. He took a similar hit on a sack against ULM in 1999 and still started the next game -- at Bama. It was obvious his throwing was not what it had been. He said it took two years for his shoulder and arm to feel back to normal.

This is why a coaching change should be made at the end of the season. It just does not make sense.

WTH....Wallace hasn't been good enough and/or deserved to play but we're gonna let him prove himself at Alabama...

Guess this is BB way of saying i told you so. Can say Wallace played horribly and hasn't earned to play. Now you guys can get off my ass.

All BB is setting BW up for failure.

Yup

If our offensive line will just "strain" a little harder, everything will be OK.

Hopefully they don't poop themselves with all the straining.

When we meet Alabama and the straining and then:

Arkansas has to be the only team in the country where four O-linemen with four stars as high school recruits ride the pine while two walk-ons/former walk-on start, a 2-star juco redshirt starts, and a former D-lineman who has played football less than a handful of years starts. Has to be.

I would love to here Michael Smith's thoughts on this subject.
I remember on his show - how he always preached how important it was for the offensive line to work together as one unit. And this unit certainly hasn't been doing that this year - how could they??

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Set up to fail so the staff can say “See people! We told you!”  Maybe?

Yeah, that was my passive aggressive way saying this in deed.

Probably the only team in the history of college football.

Maybe because he is just going to hand the ball off.

Seriously.

This makes me physically ill. So many things wrong with one statement. If he's hurt, he shouldn't play. Period. and "you guess" he's going to "give it a go?" What kind of **** is that? No surprise the team stinks when the coach has all but mentally checked out.

If he does put him in, I think Wallace will do as good or better than what we have seen so far.

I saw on Tigerdroppings that some LSU fans are saying that Cole's daddy has been telling people that he is starting this week.  Who knows?

Ever since that kid stepped in front of a microphone all I can see when someone mentions his daddy is this... I lurve that coonassed accent...

This is the post of the day. I think kurt anderson is the problem. The program was improving with pittman coaching the line and the o line was nationally recognized.  Now the o line is a national joke. Tom Brady wouldn't look good with our line!!! All of our problems begin with the line and their coach.
